Former President Bill Clinton insisted yesterday he had no inside information about the raid on Osama bin Laden’s Pakistan compound — and was kept in the dark by wife Hillary, President Obama’s secretary of state.

Bill Clinton, appearing on CNBC, was discussing US efforts to combat terrorism when he disclosed that despite his proximity to one of the key decision-makers, he wasn’t privy to the months of planning and was as surprised as most everyone to learn that Osama had been killed in a raid carried out by Navy SEALs.

“I placed two calls to my wife on that day and all I was told is, ‘She’s at the White House and can’t talk to you,’ ” Bill Clinton said.
